hiatus until may

//look. i'm just going to be honest. i have not had the energy nor inclination to engage even slightly with anything pokeirl related so i am just going to take the entirety of april off to like...destress, detox, whatever we're calling it before plot stuff for ren gets under way

//i'm not apologizing for this because quite frankly, my mental health is something i need to take back and by force. i'm genuinely burning the fuck out and i need to take a step back. please feel free to handwave things with ren, carmine, and mio as needed. it's just...bad over here, mentally, and i need some time away.

//thank you for any understanding. i'll try to get back to full force soon.

As am I lucky to have such a thoughtful, responsible girlfriend to call my dearest! ♥ I am always happy to help boost your messages, my dear.

It's good to see so many of you sending Kai lots of love and support with everything that's happened; my beloved's message was no doubt a part of it, and it pleases me to see the outpouring of it!

A small, friendly reminder, though~

Just make sure you remember that what you say on here can and will be seen by all of us. You know. Just in case anyone gets any stupid ideas in their head. ♥

#beloved amarys #Thank you my dear! I've blocked one and another I'm suspecting as well. #<3 Always looking out for me and others my sweetest. #carmine talks #reblog

🕰On their team for battling, which Pokémon have they had the longest? If they have multiple teams, answer for each team.

Leavanny, no contest. It's not very often that your family Pokemon becomes your strongest partner by a long shot!

But if we're not talking a Pokemon who belonged to the family, it's Scrafty. I still remember sneaking her into the house because she wouldn't stop trying to play with me when Kiki was a baby like yesterday...

💙Are any of their Pokémon unlikely friends? (would be expected to not get along, but they're friends regardless). If so, which ones, and why is it unexpected?

You wouldn't believe it from seeing them sometimes, but Mightyena and Scrafty work incredibly well in battle; they're both fiercely independent and butt heads often, but they both seem to inspire the other to do better, and really, it's something to behold! I like to start with them in battle sometimes; they're both intimidating, but they really spur each other onward!

🟡Were any of their Pokémon obtained at an Evolution Stage beyond "Unevolved"? If so, which one(s)?

Oh, those are easy!

Toucannon was the first of them; funnily enough, I met most of my Pokemon unevolved, but I was battling Trumbeak for an assignment in the Terarium and she was positively fierce! I had to add her to my team, and thankfully, after some "convincing", she became mine!

Cardigan I also met as a Lilligant--I mean, obviously. She's my emotional support, after all, and she does quite a good job at that! The Professor must have battled with her a few times, because she definitely knows her way around one; not that she really does anymore, but for a girl who's flower was rudely taken from her, she's absolutely stunning.

Pokemon Ask Game.

1️⃣What was their first Pokémon?

❔How did they obtain their first Pokémon? Was it a gift? Did they catch it themself? Did it willingly come along with them?

🔴What was the first Pokémon they caught themself, from a battle/encounter?

🕰On their team for battling, which Pokémon have they had the longest? If they have multiple teams, answer for each team.

🟠If they have a specialty/preference, what is it?

🥚Do they have a Pokémon obtained from breeding, that they bred?

💙Are any of their Pokémon unlikely friends? (would be expected to not get along, but they're friends regardless). If so, which ones, and why is it unexpected?

🟡Were any of their Pokémon obtained at an Evolution Stage beyond "Unevolved"? If so, which one(s)?

🟢Are any of their Pokémon currently not at the end of their evolution line? If so, why?

🔵Do they have Pokémon that most people would not know of/understand? (As in; would not know of the Pokémon, not them having it). If so, what one(s), and why?

Sneasler Mail! The Sneasler hands Carmine a small hand-carved statuette of a Garchomp. The Sneasler makes a happy sound, then leaves. -@sinnohs-eve

Oh? Well, isn't this just precious! I think this is the first time someone's ever associated me with a Garchomp, but I definitely don't mind it. I've always found them quite fierce and wonderful.

Thank you again, Eve!

Why didn't I think of that-?!

❌ Thoughts on Carmine?

You guys definitely give easy questions...

#carmine talks #reblog #kiki #//kiki: holder of the braincell between the two of them

[ribesrubrum]

❌ Opinions on Kieran?

... ... ...

I hate it. I hate it so much. I hope it and I never recover any sort of bond between us, and I hope to never be able to help it.

And fuck you for making me type that!

#carmine's ama #//:') she's become so much more worried #//most likely to try and protect kieran from [SPOILER FOGHORN NOISES] and get herself hurt tbh--

Lentimas town?

You wanna live near a live/dead active volcano?

What?! Yeah, sure, it IS, but it's actually a really nice place!

...I mean, I only got to go there a few times before my family stopped bothering to visit, but it was a nice way to get away from the city life a bit! You act like this is such a surprise.

#carmine's ama

[ribesrubrum]

Ha! That's certainly fair, my sweet. We'd likely want to settle down in a place near there, at least...perhaps Humilau or Lacunosa would be more preferable, then? Though you can be certain that I would follow you as well in a heartbeat! 🫰!

But I can only imagine. At the very least there would be a lot stricter regulations, and everyone who will have gotten to that point will follow them duly. I imagine that would take a heavy load off of your shoulders, my dear!

Apricot - ten years

Look. If I make it to the next year at the rate of stress I'm going, I'll be very, very lucky!

...But I can see something for myself. Maybe settling down...not in Kitakami, but somewhere in Unova, if I could convince Amarys to come with me. I'd obviously be engaged to her! The fact that the older Kiki who popped up one time confirmed that we'd...! Oh, I can't wait! But maybe we'd...we'd settle down in Lentimas Town? Or somewhere else.

But we'd have our Pokemon with us, maybe a nice little place where they could all play...a nice backyard...I think it'd be nice. To settle down into a quiet life with her. What a dream...

#beloved amarys #reblog #carmine talks #//OH IT'S ALL GOOD #//it's actually a place they added in b2w2!! it's a lil town you go to after defeating skyla #//very rough and mountainy but like. cute and quiet too.

[ribesrubrum]

❌Thoughts on the multiverse?

...

I hate this. You guys are just the worst--

Well, I have to say I love it because it means there's multiple versions of me I'll be happy to fight and destroy to prove that I'm the best Carmine of all!

#carmine's ama #//carmine is honestly very lonely and would love to see another her #//...oocly i understand why there aren't a lot of her because some people are fucking assholes ruining fun #//but man.
